## How do I create a Project Access Token for GitLab?

An alternative to the Personal Access Token is the Project Access Token.

For instructions on creating a Project Access Token in GitLab, please consult [GitLab's official documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.html#create-a-project-access-token).

The scope determines the actions you can perform when you authenticate with a project access token. Select the `read_repository`.

For the role of the token, `Reporter` should be selected.
